Bet Me³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| C

18/1

Emphatic debut winner here in June and wasn't disgraced in listed company at Sandown (7f, good) next time, albeit she was the best part of seven lengths adrift of the re-opposing runner-up, Fairy Cross.

Form: 14

(8)

Breege³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 94

9/2

Looked useful when easy winner on Wetherby debut in May and confirmed that impression when third in the Princess Margaret at Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time. Extra furlong here will serve her well and a bold show could be on the way, provided she handles conditions.

Form: 123

Bright Diamond²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| D

10/3

Appeared to be in trouble at the halfway stage on debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago, but ended up winning that maiden by nine lengths. Different conditions forecast here and this is much tougher, but she's an unknown quantity.

Form: 1

(3)

Candle Of Hope¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hughes| OR: 92| D

7/1

Looked good when winning her first two starts at Newbury and Thirsk. Not beaten far in a listed race back at the former course (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and she's certainly not without hope, for all that improvement is needed.

Form: 113

(5)

Fairy Cross³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 103| D

2/1

Left debut form well behind when landing a Newmarket maiden in good style in June. Further progress when worn down close home by a smart prospect in a listed race at Sandown (7f good) next time and she's a big player.

Form: 512

(7)

Inanna²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: S Woods| OR: 84| D

100/1

Winning start to her career at Haydock in May, but essentially found out in better company since and she looks set for another struggle.

Form: 156

(1)

Mottisfont²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke| T: H Morrison| OR: 93| D

10/1

Looked potentially useful when scoring on debut at Ffos Las and hardly dented her reputation by subsequently finishing third in the Sweet Solera at Newmarket (Ivory Madonna and Inanna behind). Probably capable of better and she needs a second look.

Form: 13

(2)

Queen Olly⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: D Loughnane| OR: 98

8/1

Ready winner on debut at York and since acquitted herself well in the Albany at Royal Ascot and Duchess of Cambridge at Newmarket (both over 6f on good to firm). Step up to 7f looks a good move and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 143

Forecasts

Fairy Cross (2/1), Bright Diamond (10/3), Breege (9/2), Candle Of Hope (7/1), Queen Olly (8/1), Mottisfont (10/1), Ivory Madonna (10/1), Bet Me (18/1), Inanna (100/1)

The one who appeals most is FAIRY CROSS, who pulled clear of the rest when overhauled in the closing stages by a potentially smart filly at Sandown last month. She is unproven on ground slower than good, but the same is true of the majority of her rivals. Queen Olly has followed her taking debut success with solid efforts in Group company and she is feared most ahead of Mottisfont and Breege.
